| <nettime> Bad Virus |
Hi,
This is a message from our System Engineer Krume Dolnenec.

----------------------------------------------
Bad Virus!! Beware everyone!
This information was received this morning from IBM, please share
it with anyone that might access the Internet:
If anyone receives e-mail entitled "PENPAL GREETINGS!" please
delete it WITHOUT READING IT!! This is a warning for all
Internet users - there is a dangerous virus propagating across
the Internet through an e-mail message entitled "PENPAL
GREETINGS!"
DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANY MESSAGE ENTITLED "PENPAL GREETINGS"!! This
message appears to be a friendly letter asking you if you are
interested in a penpal, but by the time you read the letter, it
is too late. The "trojan horse" virus will have already infected
the boot sector of your hard drive, destroying all of the data
present. It is a self- replicating virus, and once the message
is read, it will AUTOMATICALLY forward itself to anyone whose
e-mail address is present in YOUR mailbox!
This virus will DESTROY your hard drive, and holds the potential
to DESTROY the hard drive of anyone whose mail is in your IN BOX,
and whose mail is in their in box and so on. If this virus keeps
getting passed, it has the potential to do a great deal of damage
to computer networks worldwide!!!!
Please, delete the message entitled "PENPAL GREETINGS!" AS SOON
AS YOU SEE IT! Pass this message along to all of your friends and
other readers of the newsgroups and mailing lists which you are
on so that they are not hurt by this dangerous virus!!!!
Please pass this along to everyone you know so this can be
stopped.
